Our Dog Majnu

Rich Cohen · May 9, 2024

Today we will say goodbye to our wonderful dog, Majnu (meaning: "Love Crazed" in Arabic) who is 17 years, 4 months 9 days old. He is a Dandie Dinmont Terrier, quite rare. Quality of his life is the issue. We will bury him in our backyard, surrounded by flowers.

Our thoughts with all of you @Rich Cohen

So sorry Rich. Great looking dog who I am sure led a much loved life. Looks a lot like my little Yoda I also lost 6 months ago or so,

Good thoughts sent your way.

Godspeed, Majnu. See you on the other side.

Very sorry to hear that Majnu is crossing the rainbow bridge. Pets are family.

So sorry to hear Rich. 17 yrs is a very good long life and I’m sure you gave him a good loving home. It’s never easy and for those who have always had dogs know all too well about that once in a lifetime dog loaded with personality. They are the rare specials ones you love so much it kills you to make that dreaded decision, yet that same love still compels you to do the humane thing when you are seeing them suffer on a daily basis. Knowing if you did the right thing is never the issue, it’s just having to do it that sucks so damn much.

I feel for you.

It’s never easy.

Oh no.... I'm so sorry, Rich. Glad you're making the tough decision, but damn!! We lost our parrot, Sherlock, last month. He was 43. It's so damn quiet around here.

So sorry to hear. They really do become part of the family.

HeyMikey · May 9, 2024

So sorry to hear Rich. Been through it too many times and it is never easy. It’s the right thing to do and the final gift you can give to such a cherished member of your family.

I am so sorry.
It never gets easier.
Peace and strength.

No words just heart felt sadness.

The joy they bring; it will come alive in your quiet times.

Sorry, Rich...

Losing our beloved pets is the worst. The last, and best, gift we can give them is a painless exit when the time comes. It's hard but Majnu is counting on you.

Sail on Majnu!

Majnu will be consigned to mother earth at 4pm EST today.
Thank you all for the kind words. They have helped us to deal with the grief.

Goodbye, Majnu!

Rich, wishing you and your family the best.

Sincere condolences. They're family.

I dread the day that I outlive ours, if that's the way it works out.
